The only thing I know is that you need to know which brand and type the bt848 
card is, and configure it according to the docs (in the kernelsource are 
lists of cards and their tuner settings).  For a BT848 card, the lspci output 
is not sufficient...  can you find out what card it is ?

Dunno about the soundcard... what's the problem with it ?
